Two weeks until LEZ phase two

24 June 2008

The second phase of the Low Emission Zone, which will affect diesel lorries weighing more than 3.5 tonnes, buses and coaches, begins on Monday 7 July.

From then, if these vehicles don't meet the required emissions standard, which is Euro III for particulate matter, they will face a daily charge.

The first phase of the Low Emission Zone began operation on 4 February. It operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and covers most of Greater London.

The Zone is the first scheme of its type in the UK and the largest Low Emission Zone in the world.
